Ever wonder why HP has seven consecutive years of Linux market share
leadership? Maybe it's our portfolio of best-of-breed partner products, or
HP value-add in management, high availability, and virtualization. Maybe
it's the integrated, consolidated infrastructure of HP BladeSystem,
single-source accountability and solution support from HP Services in 160
countries, or just our unwavering commitment to the open source community.

Tue, Oct 31st 2006 22:33
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
About: Advanced Website Creator is a Web development environment. Created
websites use an MVC framework written in PHP 5 and a simple database
abstraction layer. At present the database layer supports MySQL and
PostgreSQL as backends. All PHP classes are auto-loaded, so there is no
need to include() or require() files manually. Search engine friendly URLs
are supported via mod_rewrite.
Changes: Project run settings are specified in the global configuration
instead of per user. A bug in handling of base URL paths was fixed. A bug
which prevented usage of non-default settings during AWC installation was
fixed. Stricter error checking is done during database operations.

Education
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors :: Vector-Based
Scientific/Engineering
About: Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for
technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like
syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting
that LaTeX does for scientific text. Asymptote is a programming language as
opposed to just a graphics program. It can exploit the best features of
script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI) methods.
High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language itself,
allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications.
Changes: A workaround for a garbage collection bus error under Mac OS X
was implemented. A uniform histogram routine was added to the stats
module. New frequency binning routines were added. The argument order of
the nonuniform frequency binning routines was interchanged for consistency
(backwards incompatible). The FAQ was updated.

Software Development :: Compilers
About: Axiomatic Multi-Platform C (AMPC) is a C to Java class file
compiler suite for the development of platform independent applications.
AMPC can also be used to integrate C and Java programs since AMPC's C
functions can directly call numerous Java methods and vice versa. AMPC
supports a very large subset of ANSI C (1989). It can be used to develop
new applications using C as well as port existing applications written in
C to run on JVM enabled devices. A JNI (JVM Native Interface) feature is
available for calling native C or C++ functions. The asm() directive can
be used to embed Jasmin assembly code within C source code. Support for
the SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit) based graphics API is available. J2ME
CDC 1.1 for mobile devices is also supported.
Changes: A bug in operations involving floating point constants was fixed.

dumping for debugging purposes and allows the implementation of a
"transparent forensic logging bridge".
Changes: The session table memory allocation has been improved for speed:
Session table entries are now pre-allocated in chunks. A "show stinfo"
command has been added. The manual has been updated to release 1.691.0.

errors are now written to a log file (jaikozdebug.log) to help in
troubleshooting if something goes wrong. Performance of loading files has
been increased by 100% by optimizing screen refreshes. Memory usage for
files containing images has been dramatically improved.

[035] - Ragel State Machine Compiler 5.15
by Adrian Thurston (http://freshmeat.net/users/age/)
Tue, Oct 31st 2006 14:07
Software Development :: Code Generators
About: Ragel compiles finite state machines from regular languages into C,
C++, Objective-C, or D code. It allows the programmer to embed actions at
any point in a regular language, and to control non-determinism in the
resulting machines. It understands concatenation, union, kleene star,
subtraction, intersection, epsilon transitions, and various other common
operators. It also supports the construction of scanners and the building
of state machines using state charts. It can be used to create very fast
recognizers and parsers that are also robust.
Changes: A language-independent test harness was introduced. The
state-based embedding operators that access states that are not the start
state and that are not final (the 'middle' states) were changed. A new
verbose form of state-based embedding operators was added. Several bugs
were fixed.

Tue, Oct 31st 2006 08:08
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Browsers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Office/Business :: Groupware
About: Richie Rich is an HTML document editor that runs within a Web
browser. Unlike other in-line HTML editors, this operates straight on the
DOM to avoid incongruities between what is visible in the front end and
the HTML that is created in the back end. It supports undo, mouse
selection, cursor positioning, and creation of headings, paragraphs,
lists, links, bold, italic and underline.
Changes: This release increases the robustness of RichieRich considerably.
It's no longer billed as an in-browser editor, but more as a pasting-tool
with formatting capabilities, the idea being that people use their
favorite word processor to create a document, or receive it in email or
whatever, and then use this tool to transfer that content to the Web.

[038] - Sdictionary 1.2.0 (Libsdict)
by Alexey Semenoff (http://freshmeat.net/users/swajj/)
Tue, Oct 31st 2006 13:54
About: Sdictionary is a dictionary that uses its own dictionary format.
Unlike ptkdic or gtkdic, MySQL isn't needed; you can work with dictionary
files directly. It uses Unicode, meaning that words and articles all are
in UTF-8. There are two index levels, compression, and tools to convert
from text files to .dct and vice versa. A Perl/Tk version, libsdict, a C
library framework, and a Symbian version are available.
Changes: Fixes for some dictionary types. Version information was added to
the DLL. Include files were reorganized. There are new library functions.

About: Stendhal is a multiplayer online adventure game (MMORPG) developed
using the Arianne game development system. It features a rich and
expanding world in which you can explore towns, buildings, plains, caves,
and dungeons. You will meet NPCs and acquire tasks and quests for valuable

with each new level up become stronger and better. With the money you
acquire, you can buy new items and improve your armour and weapons. You
can also roam the world in search of evil monsters (and kill them).
Changes: The language of nearly all NPCs was improved. A smart updater was
implemented for future versions, so that you do not have to download the
complete client whenever a new version is released. A quest named "Semos
Mine Town Revival Weeks" was added. Game masters can become invisible (but
their names are still displayed) and can walk through walls.
